Artists' projects related to WATER

From my research recently, I found out that the artists community in the world had worked together in groups to create awareness about the water issue on our Earth through art. They realized that there is a need to educate people to maintaining today's water. They are concerning about shortage of drinking water, good sewage system, environmental pollution and the signs of global warming which are occurring in no time everywhere on Earth. Some cities like Seattle has had collaboration projects with local artists on art exhibitions and and through installation art to convey an alarming message to the public about the issue.


These are some significant projects done by some artists.

2. In Seattle, they have the Water Calling Temporary Projects.
It is a collaboration project with their local government. 3 artists and 5 filmmakers explored water - examining its flow and its history, offering ways to care our urban watersheds and celebrating water's mythical power. The projects took place at various locations throughout the city.
